Title: One nice wiper (1/9/22)

Jigging rap on the bottom.  Thought I hooked a carp, but I was pleasantly surprised.  19.5”

Nice catch.

About 15 years ago I spent a winter looking for one of those.  Never caught a single one through the ice.  Weekend after weekend drilling so many holes the lake probably would have looked like swiss cheese from above.

I sure could smack the heck out of them on the fly rod the rest of the year.
